# What is a synth?
* Digital or Analog
* Multiple Paradigms
* Subtractive
* Additive
* Frequency Modulation
* Granular
---
# What is a subtractive synth?
* Takes a signal from an Oscillator
* Passes it through a series of components that subtract from the signal
![Subtractive synthesis signal flow](http://files.csound-tutorial.net/floss_manual/Release03/Cs_FM_03_ScrapBook/2oscsynthflow_001.png)
---
# Signals
* Continuous streams of values
* Digitally represented as an array of N bit values
* Electronic trickery makes these work
* Composed of many Sine waves at various phases and velocities at any one point
![Time domain waveform representation](http://www.bitscope.com/software/generator/panel/13.png)
---
# Pitched signals
* Follow a harmonic structure
* has a sine wave at the 'fundamental' frequency
* contains sine waves at various multiples of the fundamental frequency

# Oscillators
* Generate the waveforms

# DEMO

# Filters
They 'filter' part of the harmonic content out of the sound.
* Various types
* Low Pass
* High Pass
* Band Pass
* Band Reject

# DEMO
---
# Envelope generator
Controls the volume of the sound over time.
